Married playing on one card

Also, can you get in trouble for a married couple
both playing on one card? We went to MSS and used her card there,
altho every time I hit a quad for a scratch card, I got up and went
to the bathroom while my wife moved into my seat and took the card.
-> Not at MSS, they are very nice there. Most ( but not all) will allow a
husband and wife to share a card - but you should still check to avoid
surprises.

Only place we have ever had a problem with this is in St. Louis with the
individual loss limits. Another way to deal with the MSS situation for the
scratch card promotion is to after you hit one quad just hand them the
scratch card with the number on it instead of taking out your players card.
This concept of constrating play on one card is one of the best ideas I ever
got from this list. It opens all kinds of opportunities.

No problems at all at MSS--we do the above all the time.

SOP at MSS is for spouses to register on a single account, with each
having their own card. That's the way we originally registered there.
Play is tracked in a single account. Once our combined points exceed
500, we can get cashback from them. Other advantages include getting
comps based on combined play, more room offers if you're from out of
town, that sort of thing.

At MSS, when you hit a quad they usually just ask
for your number instead of making you pull your card
out.So just memorize it and when they approach you
just rattle it off to them.

Also , with MSS, you are BEST NOT to remove your players card to show them
the number for a scratch card. I believe this resets the point countdown.
So, if you are just 1 .25 hand away from another point, you will soon be
about 5 hands away instead.
I make sure I memorize the card number, or get a second card or use a
previous scratch card to give to the personnel. Makese life a lot happier.

Make sure you give them the right number. On 3/17 I a got a $50
card. They check the numbers on these at the window when you reedem
the "high value" cards.

Some change people, when I have a lot of quads in a row, enjoy
trying to memoraize my number. Nice folks at MSS. They all think I
come from California since I'm there every month!
